Ash tree breaks through metal gate with peeling paint // remages

Little tree breaks metal gate

The tricolor palette of this old, rusting, paint-peeling metal gate was fascinating, but the little ash tree that broke through it — undaunted and nonchalant —  was even more fantastic. Check out the haiku I wrote about it on haikumages.com. remages

No Weak Links in the Chain. Remages

No Weak Links in the Chain…I hope!

Looking at each silvery link, checking each one, I think, there must not be a weak one among you!  The thing is…the links of this particular chain uphold the hammock in which my daughter loves to swing!  The two trees, forever too far apart for the hammock ropes […]
